Objective	This mission is part of the project on "sedimentary processes and slope instabilities": study of the lobe of deep deposits on the Nice margin. The Var river underwater sedimentary fan is in the continuation of the Var alluvial valley off Nice and extends to the foot of the North-western Corsican margin. SAR trials were also run (ESSAR 94).
